A recent video clip of a CNN reporter engaging with a young boy about the 2024 election has taken social media by storm, and for good reason. In a valiant effort to capture the political opinions of American children, the network posed a simple question: what first comes to mind when they hear the name Kamala Harris? The boy’s candid and unfiltered answer? “Liar!” Who knew kids could cut through the political fluff so succinctly?
This viral moment was part of a larger CNN project aimed at probing the minds of 10-year-olds across various political landscapes. One can almost hear the collective sigh of relief from the conservative world; at least we know the future generation is picking up on some important truths from raising their eyebrows at the likes of Harris. The segment aimed to reveal how children interpret today’s political circus, and it’s hard not to chuckle when they tune in with such honesty.
CNN, ever the diligent researchers, conducted over 80 interviews with elementary school kids from states like Arizona, New Jersey, and Texas— a mix that undeniably represents the political battleground of America. While the kids in New Jersey delivered a smattering of praise for Harris, it’s evident that political affiliation directly influenced their commentary. In Texas, however, the children were likely consuming more barbecue than political correctness, echoing more enthusiastic sentiments about Trump in a way that would make any red-blooded conservative proud.

The analysis also showcased how the young minds reflected their parents’ political leanings. Unsurprisingly, those from Democrat households were quick to toss out hyperbolic claims about Trump, likening him to the worst of historical figures. Conversely, the kids hailing from Republican strongholds tended toward a more reasoned discussion. A representative young man, while acknowledging his support for Trump’s decisions, humorously reminded the adult world that our Founding Fathers weren’t without controversy either. This refreshing perspective challenges the all-too-common narrative about how blindly partisan kids can be today.
As both candidates prepare for the impending political showdown in 2024, it’s clear that American youth are already making their preferences known. Whether it’s rallying behind Trump with chants of “Go America!” or denouncing Harris with a simple dismissive word, these kids are offering a lens through which to view the future of American politics. If the next generation is anything like this little boy, there’s still hope for political discourse rooted in honesty rather than the drivel often presented by the mainstream media. At the very least, children are providing a comedic, if not enlightening, take on one of the most tumultuous political periods in modern history.
